First recorded in 1325–75; (verb) Middle English revelen, from Middle French reveler, from Latin revēlāre “to unveil” (see re-, veil); (in defs. 4, 5) derivative of obsolete revale “to lower,” from Old French revaler (re-re- + (a)valer “to lower,” verbal derivative of the phrase à val “down”; see vale)
